AM Raga accuses ICE of ‘campaign of fear and intimidation’ after reports of surge in Woodside raids

Assembly Member Steven Raga has condemned federal immigration authorities for carrying out what he described as a “deliberate campaign of fear and intimidation” after receiving reports of an uptick of immigration raids in Woodside.

Raga said he was “outraged” by reports that immigrant residents had been “abducted” by presumed federal immigration agents on several occasions in recent days, including multiple incidents near the intersection of 37th Avenue and 69th Street. He also referenced an incident at General Hart Playground on Saturday afternoon.
